Richard Michael Poet I do not know?

Oh My Soul

Oh my soul.
My God to thee
how should I explain
all I can say
I was in pain, and lost out in the rain.

Oh my soul,
God set me free
he took from me my shame
for all the things I did to others
I've accepted all the blame

Oh my soul,
my eyes were blind
to all the drugs I've done
after all the drugs I've put in me
I have to say I'm done

Oh my soul,
My God to thee,
I meant to come home soon
I wandered in the wild life
I knew not what to do

Oh my soul,
My God to thee,
I shall not stray again
I'll go out to spread the word
I'll tell them where I've been

I'll bring those home who have been lost,
for thee I'll do this service
for those addicts I'll count the cost
My soul
My God to thee.
